“Pañcime, bhikkhave, ādīnavā apāsādike.
“Mendicants, there are these five drawbacks of unimpressive conduct.
Katame pañca?
What five?
Appasannā nappasīdanti, pasannānañca ekaccānaṁ aññathattaṁ hoti, satthusāsanaṁ akataṁ hoti, pacchimā janatā diṭṭhānugatiṁ āpajjati, cittamassa nappasīdati.
You don’t inspire confidence in those without it. You cause some with confidence to change their minds. You don’t follow the Teacher’s instructions. Those who come after you follow your example. And your mind doesn’t become clear.
Ime kho, bhikkhave, pañca ādīnavā apāsādike.
These are the five drawbacks of unimpressive conduct.
Pañcime, bhikkhave, ānisaṁsā pāsādike.
There are these five benefits of impressive conduct.
Katame pañca?
What five?
Appasannā pasīdanti, pasannānañca bhiyyobhāvo hoti, satthusāsanaṁ kataṁ hoti, pacchimā janatā diṭṭhānugatiṁ āpajjati, cittamassa pasīdati.
You inspire confidence in those without it. You increase confidence in those who have it. You follow the Teacher’s instructions. Those who come after you follow your example. And your mind becomes clear.
Ime kho, bhikkhave, pañca ānisaṁsā pāsādike”ti.
These are the five benefits of impressive conduct.”
Aṭṭhamaṁ.
